Been workin' in nightclubs so long
Can hardly stand the break of day
Been workin' in nightclubs so long
Can hardly stand the break of day
Run down rooms and bad pianos
But it's still the only way
Gon' be here through Sunday evening
Be someplace else on Tuesday night
I'm gonna be here through Sunday evening
Be someplace else on Tuesday night
If I get home with all my money
Everything will be alright
Well, if I had a million dollars
I'd sit right down and relax
If I had just one million dollars
I'd sit right down and relax
I'd go and buy myself a nightclub
And write it off my income tax
